Lord, keep the rubber down and the horizon wide.
Cover the road ahead of me.
Watch the blind corners, the deer in the timber, and the fools who sleep behind the wheel.
Give my hands the steadiness to hold the line,
My iron the breath to carry me through the cold,
And my mind the stillness to leave the noise behind.

When the rain hits, let it wash off the miles.
When the sun breaks, let it remind me of grace.
And when the asphalt runs out, let me stand before You with a clean conscience, a loyal heart, and no debts left unpaid on this earth.
Protect the brothers and sisters riding beside me.
Watch over the ones waiting for me at home.
Keep me wild enough to stay free,
And humble enough to walk The Way.
Amen.
